Five Year Old Boy Dreams

I was lying next to Ian as he was sleeping this morning, and suddenly he started mumbling something. I looked over at him, and saw him slowly shake his head awake. At that point, he noticed that I was watching him, and let out a little burst of slightly-exasperated laughter, apparently embarrassed, and, in an almost scolding tone, but with a smile, said in something approaching a chant "Dad-dy."

Then he went on to explain what all the excitement was about:

"I was just dreaming that I was talking to a talking helicopter."
